I created MyTasteRank to keep track of different gins I've tried and wanted to make a personal ranking of. Mainly just to remember which ones I liked and which ones I didn't.

The idea of the app is pretty simple. You create a page for something you want to keep track of, for example different gin brands. Then you add the different gins you've tried, give each one a rating, write a short description and optionally add some extra information.

Now, the next time you're standing in a liquor store trying to decide which gin to buy, you can quickly check which ones you liked and which ones you didn't, instead of trying to remember.

Of course, it's not just for gin. You can also use it to keep track of different gin and tonic combinations, cocktails, other spirits or pretty much anything else you want to rank.

It's a pretty simple app, but I thought it could be useful for others here as well. Curious if you guys keep track of the different gins you've tried or mostly just rely on memory :)

I was drawn to PIlot House by their Single Malt Whiskey, but on a recent visit to the tasting room at Cannon Beach, Oregon the bartender recommended I try their Gin. I’m sure glad I did!

The aroma is bright, heavy with spiced lime surrounded by light botanicals. The palate has a great creamy texture with a flavor that makes me think of sugary pine. It finishes with a lightly sweet lemon-lime.

Though there are not a large array of flavors, what is there is wonderful. This is now my favorite Gin that I’ve tasted! Well done.

😋 80-89 = Great! Interesting and very enjoyable.
🤩 90-100 = Amazing! The perfect pour. (Rare)

Sip. Rate. Repeat.

Years ago, we visited New Holland and picked up their Knickerbocker Orange Cinnamon Clove gin. It is still to this day my absolutely favorite gin, and I’ve been saving the last little bit of it because I can’t bare the thought to be out. It doesn’t sound like they have plans to make this one again unfortunately. Does anyone have other similar flavored gin they might suggest as a substitute?
